Quick facts Status, Founded ...

Times Book Publishing began as the New York Times Book Company in 1969,[1] when The New York Times Company purchased Quadrangle Books, a small publishing house in Chicago, founded in 1959 by Michael Braude. Its president was Melvin J. Brisk. Initially run entirely by The New York Times Company, the publishing arm name was changed to Times Book Publishing in 1977.

In 1984, the Times Company licensed the imprint to Random House. From 1991 through 1996, during the Random House tenure, the head of Times Book Publishing was Peter Osnos, who later founded Public Affairs Books.[2][3]

Times Book Publishing was re-licensed in 2000 as an imprint of Henry Holt, which is itself an imprint[4] of Holtzbrinck Publishers/Macmillan, the U.S. arm of the Georg von Holtzbrinck Publishing Group.

Editorial directors for Times Book Publishing have included David Sobel[5] and Paul Golob.[6]

Times Book Publishing has had a somewhat controversial right of first refusal policy[1][5][7][8] with respect to manuscripts by employees of The New York Times Company.

Times Book Publishing is headquartered at 120 Broadway in Manhattan, New York City.
